Write, visit a cultural relic in Taiyuan 100, and develop economic exchanges with other vassal countries. In just a few decades, Qi became the country with the strongest economic and military strength at that time, and the first of the five tyrants. Linzi District of Zibo City, as the capital of Qi State for 638 years, was the largest city in the east at that time. Qi is a place with a prosperous culture, which is famous for its tolerance and academic freedom. Many thinkers and writers, such as Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and Qu Yuan, have come to the State of Qi to lobby and give lectures many times, and set up the "Xia Ji Gong Xue" outside the Jiyumen of Linzi City. The peak of "Talk after Governance" reached several hundred thousand, which is the origin of the famous theory of "A hundred schools of thought contend" in China history. Qi's poetry, music and other artistic standards are very high. Confucius' eternal story of "I don't know the taste of meat in March" embodies the elegant beauty of Qi music.

As the birthplace of the famous Qi culture, Zibo has many human landscapes. In Linzi, a famous national historical and cultural city, famous cultural relics such as the ruins of Qi ancient city, Liemakeng and Chemakeng have been excavated successively, which fully demonstrated the prosperity of Qi in the past. The first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China, the ancient city of Qi State, is known as the "underground museum" because of its numerous cultural relics. There are two national key cultural relics protection units and six provincial key cultural relics protection units. 1990, the excavation of Li Chunqiu's sacrificial chariot pit was listed as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China that year. Linzi District was named "National Historical and Cultural Name" by the State Council in 1994.

The history and culture of Taiyuan was in the Sui Dynasty, and Taiyuan was the third largest city in China, second only to Chang 'an and Luoyang.

The powerful Tang Dynasty originated in Taiyuan, because Jinyang was called Tang Kingdom in ancient times. After Li Yuan and his son made Chang 'an their capital, they took "Tang" as their country name. In the early Tang Dynasty, several emperors expanded Jinyang City several times, and named it "the northern capital" and "Beijing" successively, and they were also called "the three capitals" and "the three capitals" with Chang 'an in Kyoto and Luoyang in the east. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the war, the late Tang Dynasty, the late Jin Dynasty, the late Han Dynasty and the northern Han Dynasty either made their fortune in Jinyang or made it their capital. Taiyuan was once famous all over the country and was called "Dragon City".

In 979, Song Taiping rejuvenating the country for four years, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, burned Jinyang City, and led Fenhe River and Jinhe River to destroy Jinyang. An ancient city with a long history 1476 was completely destroyed.

Three years later, the new Taiyuan City sprang up in Tang Ming Town, more than 40 miles north of Guyangyang. In the fourth year of Jiayou, Taiyuan House was established. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Taiyuan City suffered from war.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang named his third son, Zhu Fang, as King of Jin, and expanded Taiyuan City, which became one of the nine important towns. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taiyuan's economy developed rapidly, and mining, commerce and handicrafts had a great influence on the national economy, and it was known as "Shanxi merchants ranked first in the country".

History and Culture of Taiyuan Since Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Taiyuan has been an important military, political, economic and cultural center in northern China, including Bei Tang, Jin, Jinyang, Taiyuan County, Daiguo, Bingzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, Longshan, Taiyuan House, Beidu, Beijing, Xijing, Longcheng, Taiyuan Road, Jining Road, Yangqu and Taiyuan City.

Taiyuan was once the ancient capital of nine dynasties in history, and many ancient buildings have been built since the Zhou Dynasty for more than 2,000 years. Taiyuan is at the center of communication and conflict between the Chinese nation and the grassland nation.

From the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, some ethnic groups such as Qundi, Zhurong, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jiedi, Qiang, Turkic, Uighur, Jurchen, Qidan, Mongolia and Manchu had fierce conflicts and struggles with the Han nationality here. In this historical environment, because of imitation or resistance to foreign enemies, Taiyuan area is "strong in human nature and used to military affairs", such as "soldiers are close to the common customs and use force" in Du You's General Code, forming a martial, strong and chivalrous folk custom.

Taiyuan is Taiyuan. Many emperors in history were particularly close to this city, so they were called Dragon City.

According to legend, Tang Yao and Dayu once built their capital in Jinyang. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was made king before he ascended the throne. The capital is today's Taiyuan, which is also known as the land of hidden dragons.

At the end of Cao Wei, the Jin family, who was sealed in Taiyuan County, replaced Cao Wei to establish political power, taking "Jin" as the country name. Before Qin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Eastern Wei Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty all took Jinyang as the capital or as the actual political center.

Gao Huan, the ancestor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, called Taiyuan the overlord city. Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di is the king of Jin.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan stayed behind for Tang Guogong and Taiyuan, established Datang in Jinyang, and took Taiyuan as the country name. Taiyuan became the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised by Emperor Taizong as "the foundation of the business and the foundation of the country".

Before Tang Gaozong ascended the throne, she was the King of Jin, and Wu Zetian, also from Wenzhou, became the only female emperor in China. Taiyuan has been the northern capital since Wuzhou, and was also named King of Jin before he ascended the throne. The emblem of Taiyuan is the first emblem of China, and its design contents are twin towers, couplets, coal seams and flames, symbolizing Taiyuan as an energy and heavy chemical base, a central city with a long history and rich coal resources, and a new atmosphere of the four modernizations.

The names of Ding Du dynasty and dynasties in Taiyuan were named as: Gubei Tang-Xu Tan-Zhao Jinyang Jinyuan National Capital (early) Northern Wei Jinyang Jinyuan Fu Ba Biedu Dong Wei Jin Yangyuan Fu Ba Biedu Beiqi Jinyang Jinyuan Fu Ba Biedu Tang Jinyang Jinyuan Northern Capital Beijing Late Tang Jinyang Jinyuan Capital Hou Han Jinyang Jinyuan Capital Northern Han Jinyang Jinyuan. Shanxi merchants' culture is in Taiyuan, the capital, and was once the hometown of Shanxi merchants. As the earliest merchant in China, its history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Ming and Qing Dynasties became the most prosperous period of Shanxi merchants, and it became the first of the four major business gangs in China, and has been dominating the business circles in China for 500 years. Shanxi merchants' family is different from the general official gentry's family. It is a traditional cultural family in China and has the characteristics of commercial branding.

Shanxi merchants created a "draft bank" in the history of China. "Bank number" is a way of trading in ancient China. "A thousand miles of trade leads to the world" was once prominent in the history of China, and even spread all over the world.

Shanxi revolutionary history and culture composition 500 words sonorous in every corner of the world.

I come from China, and I have never been so proud and confident as I am today, because my motherland is about to celebrate its 60th birthday. On this day of national celebration, my hometown Shenyang has also felt the eyes of the world with my motherland! Standing on the black land of my hometown, my heart is full of deep love for this land! Shenyang, an ancient, vicissitudes and difficult city, seems to have hit the deepest part of our hearts with five thousand years of morning bells and evening drums! Stepping on the mark left by history, my heart aches, I am shocked, my tears are blurred, and my blood is boiling.

Why? The land where I was born and raised has suffered so much suffering and humiliation. In the clamor of the invaders, I heard the weakness of the city, but I couldn't understand her forbearance and repressed anger. Not bad! This grief and indignation eventually turned into a revolutionary hero song, overwhelming and shocking mountains and rivers. At the most critical moment of the Chinese nation, the heroic sons and daughters of China annihilated the burning smoke and war with unyielding spirit.

Introduction to Shanxi Culture 120 Word Composition As soon as Chinese civilization arrived in Shanxi, the local tour guide introduced us to "China's 5,000-year-old culture, seeing Shanxi on the ground and Shaanxi underground."

This is the first time we have heard that Shanxi and Shaanxi are closely linked and have a long history in creating Chinese national civilization. Moreover, the history and culture of Shanxi are visible on the ground.

Let's look at Shanxi from a historical perspective first. What kind of place is that? The history of Shanxi tells us that the long history of Chinese civilization and Shanxi merchant culture has made Shanxi one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It is said that there is a Zhongtiao Mountain in the south of Shanxi and a Huashan Mountain in the east of Shaanxi. The combination of the two forms the origin of the name "China".

Shanxi is a place that creates history and records. According to records, as early as 6.5438+0 million years ago, the legendary ancestors of China, Yan Di and Huangdi, came to Shaanxi to work, build mountains to control water and cultivate fields to grow grain, and created a series of ancient cultures in the Central Plains, and interpreted many myths and legends such as "Fools move mountains" and "Jingwei fills the sea".

China is one of the earliest civilized countries in the world, rich in ancient myths, and Shanxi is also the birthplace of ancient myths. The legendary three sages, Yao, Shun and Yu, all established their capitals in southern Shanxi.

The first dynasty of China, Xia, was located in the south of Shanxi and the west of Henan. During the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, Shanxi has always been a strategic fortress to shield the capital.

During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Taiyuan was the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Shanxi was the main area contested by Song and Liao Dynasties.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty organized large-scale population migration for many times, which made Shanxi people move from "Hong Tong Sophora japonica" to the whole country. In the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi merchants dominated the business for 200 years, and Shanxi banks spread all over the country, creating a precedent for China's modern banking industry and being famous all over the country.

In the long and splendid history of mankind, Shanxi has performed a series of earth-shattering heroic historical dramas, and also shaped a series of colorful historical figures. In terms of heroic historical dramas, Shanxi has had very influential historical events in ancient and modern times.

Shanxi is located in the Loess Plateau, which is a whole uplift, with mountains on both sides and a series of beaded basins in the middle. There are mainly Taihang Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain and Luliang Mountain. North and South Beaded Beads in Datong, Xinxian, Taiyuan, Linfen, Yuncheng and Changzhi Basins.

In ancient times, there was an emperor who made a surprising statement: "Take the world, take Shanxi first;" Get Shanxi, get the world. "It can be seen that Shanxi has an important strategic position and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Liu Bang, the British leader of the Western Han Dynasty, led 300,000 troops to March in, sweeping the army of Shanxi and preventing the Huns from setting foot on the Central Plains. Tang Gaozu and his son rose up and captured Chang 'an. Later, Li Shimin ascended the throne and established the Tang Dynasty.

Datong Yanmenguan was built in the early Tang Dynasty to prevent Turkish invasion, and it was the gateway from the Great Wall to the Central Plains. Yang Jiye, a famous anti-Liao star in the Northern Song Dynasty, led his troops to stay in Yanmenguan for a long time and bravely fought against the invading enemy, leaving an epic and soul-stirring farewell song. Mu is a heroine praised by people from generation to generation.

The Yangjia Ancestral Temple in Daixian County was built in Yuan Dynasty to commemorate Yang Jiye, a famous anti-Liao scholar in Song Dynasty. There have been many wars in Yanmenguan area in ancient and modern times.

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Lin Biao and Nie Rongzhen led the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division to carry out a flat-level annihilation war; He Long and Guan Xiangying led the Eighth Route Army 120 Division to ambush Yanmenguan; Liu Bocheng and * * * led the Eighth Route Army129th Division to set fire to Yangmingbao Airport, both of which happened near Yanmenguan, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders. We climbed the Yanmenguan Gate Tower, looked from a distance and closed several passes. The path is winding and rugged, and the weather-beaten Great Wall still exists, which is the war trace of today's ancient battlefield. Looking closely at the confrontation between the two peaks around Yanmenguan, it is like a gate standing at the highest place. This is a real person guarding it, and 10,000 people can't force it.

Yanmenguan terrain is steep and dangerous, and the geese pass through the city gate hole, hence the name. It is not difficult to understand why there have been many wars in ancient and modern Yanmenguan area.

In terms of historical figures, influential emperors and generals, heroes and writers and artists have emerged in Shanxi. Some people say that "Shanxi is a famous place", which is worthy of the name.

Jin Wengong Zhong Er and meson push in the Spring and Autumn Period: Lian Po and Xun Kuang in the Warring States Period; Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, famous soldiers in the Han Dynasty; Guan Yu, a warrior of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Liao, a general; Wu Zetian, the first empress of the Tang Dynasty in China, and Di Renjie; Poets Wang Bo, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, Liu Songyuan; Sima Guang, a historian of the Song Dynasty, was a famous anti-Liao scholar and a heroine Mu. Yuan Haowen, a writer in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and Guan Hanqing, a great dramatist; Luo Guanzhong, a litterateur in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is one of the outstanding representatives.

The history created by Shanxi, historical events and historical figures at all times and in all countries are scattered in various books. During this trip to Shanxi, we focused on the history of Shanxi, especially those we have never heard of before. It is impossible to know without entering Shanxi. This is indeed a very rare learning opportunity.

There are more than 800 words in articles about places of interest in Taiyuan. Taiyuan has accumulated rich cultural heritage, such as Jinci Garden, which is a bright pearl of Chinese culture. The Twin Towers Temple "Lingxiao Twin Towers" built in Ming Dynasty is an outstanding representative of the Twin Towers in China.

The mountains are ups and downs, the mountains are lush, the spring water in Longwangdong on the mountain is gurgling, and the stream in front of the mountain is clear and gurgling. Tianlongshan Grottoes were built in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (534-550 AD). Gao Huan dug caves in Tianlong Mountain, and Gao Yang, the son of Gao Huan, established Jinyang as the capital in Beiqi, and continued to dig caves in Tianlong Mountain. In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang was the King of Jin and continued to dig caves. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and his son started in Jinyang, and the cave construction reached its peak.

Twin Towers Temple

Shuangta Temple, also known as Shuangta Temple, is a state-level cultural relics protection unit, located in the south of Haozhuang Village, Taiyuan City. Because of its towering twin towers, it is called "the twin towers on the pen" and has become a symbol of Taiyuan.

. Shuangta Temple was founded in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1608). At that time, Buddha lanterns and monks in Pingyang, Shanxi Province were very famous. Wang Pan of Lu 'an worshipped him as a teacher and funded him to build two towers here, with a height of 13 and a height of more than 50 meters. The double pagoda temple originally planned by Buddha lamp and monk is very big, but it has not been completed yet. On the orders of Emperor Wanli, he went to Xiantong Temple in Wutai Mountain to "lecture". It is said that he also built the bronze temple of Xiantong Temple.

There are 66 Taoist stone statues in the grottoes, 8 embossed Yunlong statues, and many stone carvings such as Shuangfeng algae wells and cranes. The style of the statue is simple, concise and solemn, and the costumes are simple and the folds are clear, which is quite different from the Buddhist grottoes. Some shrines still have the style of Yuan Dynasty on both sides and the front wall. Among them, the pavilion is very large, and the back eaves column is replaced by the colonnade column of the main hall. The structure is concise and rigorous, which is the inscription of gold. The combination of statues mostly adopts the form of Buddhist statues, which has no obvious characteristics.

Doctor dou temple

Doctor Dou Temple is located on the left side of Shanglan Village and Fenhe Canyon, 20 kilometers northwest of Taiyuan City. The ancient cypresses in the temple are green. Dou Gui, a doctor of the State of Jin, set up a fief in Taiyuan. He once opened a canal to promote profits, and later generations set up a shrine here to worship. There have been inscriptions throughout the ages. The existing mountain gates, pavilions and halls were rebuilt in the third year of Yuan Dynasty (1343), and some of them were still rare in the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. The clear spring next to the temple gushed from the cliff of Mengshi Mountain, and the water temperature was low, so it was called "cold spring".

Brief Introduction to Taiyuan History Taiyuan is an ancient city of China with a long history of more than 2,500 years. In 2003, it celebrated its 2500th anniversary (497-2003 BC).

It is famous for its long history, splendid culture and rich resources. Taiyuan is very big. Compared with any city in China, including the famous ancient capitals of Beijing, Xi 'an, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, it is not inferior.

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised Taiyuan as "the king of heaven and the capital of the north". "Fan Xiong is a huge town. It is not a saint."

History and culture are the greatest spiritual wealth of Taiyuan ancient city. Taiyuan has accumulated rich historical and cultural heritages, such as Jinci Garden, which is a bright pearl of Chinese culture. The Twin Towers Temple "Lingxiao Twin Towers" built in Ming Dynasty is an outstanding representative of the Twin Towers in China. Longshan Grottoes is the largest Taoist grottoes in China, and experts say it is the best in the world. Mengshan Buddha, built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and destroyed in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, is comparable to Bamiyan Buddha and Leshan Buddha! In addition, there are Chongshan Temple, a famous Buddhist temple built in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, as well as Taoist Palace, Chunyang Palace and Duofu Temple with national characteristics.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Taiyuan was the battlefield and stage between the Chinese nation dominated by Jin State and the northern nomadic people dominated by Di Rong, and between various forces of Jin State. Brilliant Zhao Jianzi attached importance to the important position of Taiyuan and ordered his retainer Dong An to build Jinyang City in the sunshine of Jinjiang in Taiyuan Basin.

With the guarantee of Jinyang, his son Zhao Xiangzi defeated Zhi Bo with Korea and Wei, and the three tribes were divided into Jin, which opened the prelude to the Warring States and feudal society in China. For more than 2,500 years, Taiyuan, which is at the center of Chinese civilization and the transition zone between farming civilization and grassland civilization, has created a magnificent history.

In the early days of feudal society, Taiyuan was the basis of the rule of the princes, the fortress of the Han nationality's colonization of the north, and occupied an important position in ancient politics. In the heyday of feudal society-Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Taiyuan was the military center of the Central Plains Dynasty to prevent nomads from invading the south. It was the frontier of the Central Plains Dynasty to integrate and accept nomadic people, make them accept advanced agricultural culture, and change grazing into farming, which showed its unparalleled outstanding position in the history of China. When the feudal society entered the later period, Taiyuan was still the important town of Fan Xiong, standing at the north gate of the Central Plains.

Ancient Taiyuan advanced and retreated together with feudal society and made its own contribution to Chinese civilization. ; For more than 2,500 years, Taiyuan has nurtured a long and splendid culture, and also created a large number of talented literati in the history of China.

In particular, Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan, the frontier poets in the Tang Dynasty, combined their delicate and euphemistic inner feelings into magnificent and bold poems, which formed a unique desolate beauty and will never be sung again; Bai Juyi, the leader of the New Yuefu Movement, created a number of well-known realistic masterpieces such as Pipa Xing and Song of Eternal Sorrow. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, a native of Taiyuan, created a precedent for China's novels. Fu Shan, a great scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was admired by later generations for his profound knowledge and noble integrity. There are also Yuan Haowen, Yan Ruoqu and so on, all of whom are academic masters who grew up in this hot land of Taiyuan. They are representatives of Taiyuan's splendid culture, adding an immortal chapter to Chinese civilization.

I was born in a poor city. There is neither the prosperity of Beijing nor Shanghai. It is not as glamorous as Shenzhen, but it attracts me with its unique charm and guides me forward. I feel the beauty here every day.

My hometown is Taiyuan. Anyone who knows Taiyuan will know that it is a sea of coal. There is a coal factory near my home. There are coal trucks running around here all day. I have a sense of pride when I stand on the windowsill and look at the speeding car every day. I am proud that I am from Shanxi. Perhaps Taiyuan is a backward city in everyone's eyes, with a bad environment and low per capita GDP, but Taiyuan is changing with its hard work and wisdom.

Over the past five years, great changes have indeed taken place in Shanxi, which is obvious to all. The successful renovation of Fenhe Reservoir has made Taiyuan, Shanxi more beautiful. I remember that many years ago, Fenhe River was still a black and smelly river, which always stinks and makes people restless. Now it has become a beautiful scenery in Taiyuan. As night falls, thousands of lights are lit, and the Fenhe River is also lit at this time.

People in the noisy city life have accepted the reality of reinforced concrete buildings, and they can never do this.

Taiyuan has a long history of many years. Taiyuan is an ancient civilized city in the north of China. The discovery of "Gujiao Paleolithic Cultural Site" proves that as early as100000 years ago, human beings lived and multiplied on the land of Taiyuan.

In the first year of Lu (17 years, 54 1 year), the state of Jin, Xunwu, led troops to the north and occupied today's Taiyuan area, and Taiyuan was incorporated into the territory of Jin. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the fifteenth year of Jin Dinggong (497 BC), the world-famous Jinyang ancient city appeared on the bank of Jinjiang River in Fenhe River, with a history of 2506 years.

Jinyang Ancient City was the capital of Zhao in the early Warring States Period.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, the world was divided into 36 counties, and Taiyuan County was set up on this ancient land to govern Jinyang. Jinyang was set up in the official department of Bingzhou in Han Dynasty, which was also the beginning of Taiyuan being called Bingzhou, and the abbreviation of "Bingzhou" of Taiyuan came from it. At that time, Taiyuan had become one of China 13 the State Council.

During the Sui Dynasty, Taiyuan was the third largest city in China, second only to Chang 'an and Luoyang.

The powerful Tang Dynasty was born in Taiyuan.
